We have moved to an area we don't know too well and the Tom Tom Navigator 3 is great for finding your way around. As we like to go off for day trips this has prevented many an argument and saved my stress levels wonderfully as driving and reading maps is not my idea of fun. A brilliant gadget that I would hate to be without now that I have tried it.

The TomTom Navigator 3 Wired GPS is a general all around good guy of the sat nav world - reliable, sensible and dependable. Website is not for the faint hearted, you'll need to be patient to find what you're looking for, however their customer services in Holland were very helpful and sent me information on cable rewiring. I am pleased with TomTom, so in my book - Levis make denim, RayBan makes shades and now - TomTom makes sat nav! A+++++

On the negative side, iffy wiring on the sat receiver led to the co ax fraying. Not a major problem, but a problem none the less. If you're not techie minded, it could be a problem. The main major problem is the IPAQ from HP which was extremely disappointing to say the least, it frequently let me down, wiped the SD card and in the end just rolled over and died on me.

However, TomTom gets a big thumbs up and HP get the big thumbs down. I plan to go out and purchase the top of the range TomTom in a few days, which thankfully does not need anything to do with HP.

Run this TomTom Navigator 3 Wired GPS satellite navigation system on IPAQ 5550 with bluetooth. It works brilliantly well and can be thoroughly recommended. I have just upgraded from the older software version, Navigator 2. That was poor, slow, unrelaible and unstable. IPAQ craashed regularly. If you have Nav 2, upgrade it and you will be amazed. if you have the chance of buying Navigator 2 cheaply now that it has been superceded, don't waste your money.
